“…Result show a good balance in terms of TCP-friendliness and responsiveness. Pokhrel et al [37] proposed an analytical algorithm to improve the coupled congestion-based approach, in term of goodput, which is a network throughput measurement at the application-level (only concern about useful data transmission). The proposed approach works by by controlling the reordering delay at the receiver side, with consideration to packet loss rate and data transmission delay.…”

“…However, the model does not consider other parameters like loss rate and buffer size. Pokhrel and Mandjes [37] developed a comprehensive technique to evaluate the performance of durable (mostly permanent) MPTCP flows over heterogeneous network (WiFi and Cellular network). They considered various network features like retransmission limit and the buffer sizes.…”

Today, mobile devices like smartphones are supported with various wireless radio interfaces including cellular (3G/4G/LTE) and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) [42]. The legacy devices can only communicate with only one interface. The Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP, has a limitation inability to change connection settings without breaking the connection. In this paper, we explain how multi-path TCP (MPTCP) protocol has been proposed to solve TCP single-interface limitation and provides a huge improvement on application performance by using multiple paths transparently (auto path changing). We discuss the last mile, which is the final networking segment that carried all network traffic. Indeed, the available bandwidth in last-mile link can effectively harm the network throughput as it limits the amount of transmitted data. We found that the quality of the last mile networks significantly determines the reliability and quality of the carrying network. We believe MPTCP can provide a convenient solution for the last mile problem. We provide a holistic view of the challenges and potential enablers in details.<br>

“…The authors in [27] explored concepts and feasibility of realizing MPTCP with path awareness, in which the path-aware information was leveraged to reinforce the MPTCP transmissions. The authors in [28] developed a comprehensive approach that is capable of assessing the performance of long-lived MPTCP flows with joint WiFi and cellular network access. Relying on a parallel queueing model, the authors developed a framework that features the controllable network parameters, such as the retransmission limit and the buffer sizes, to capture their impact on the TCP-level performance.…”

Multipath Routing and MPTCP-Based Data Delivery Over Manets

In some special circumstances (e.g., tsunamis, battlefields, and earthquakes), communication infrastructures are damaged or nonexistent. For communication among people, mobile smart devices (MSDs) can be used to construct mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). This paper focuses on the problem of data delivery in MANETs aiming to improve the quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) users receive. MANETs, however, have the well-known problems of frequent disconnections and high rates of failed transmissions as MSDs move in and out of network coverage areas, and the topology constantly changes. To solve these issues, the main contributions of this work are as follows: (1) we provide and investigate the QoE-driven multipath TCP (MPTCP)-based data delivery model in MANETs; (2) we present hidden Markov model-based optimal-start multipath routing, which can effectively predict a mobile node's near future network connection state according to its past connection state; (3) we leverage MPTCP to simultaneously transmit data via multiple interfaces of MSDs and improve the establishment method for MPTCP subpaths; and (4) we study and improve the algorithm of multihop routing in MANETs. The test results show that our algorithms can offer more efficient use of multiple subpaths and better network traffic load balancing than using standard MPTCP alone. INDEX TERMS Data delivery, hidden Markov, MANET, multipath routing, multipath TCP, quality of experience.

“…In beyond 5G and future 6G communication systems, the high demand on data rate certainly will cause ultradensified and heterogeneous BSs/APs deployment. However, heterogeneous networks need to be interconnected, so many problems are raised in terms of routing [10], protocol [11] and task assignment [12]. In the space-ground integrated network, various networking technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages in coverage, transmission delay, throughput, reliability and other aspects, and different network segments can cooperate to support seamless service access [13].…”

In the space-ground integrated networks, many tasks come from different access networks, such as cellular network, Wireless Fidelity (WIFI), Satellite network, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and so on. And these tasks have different priorities in general. Therefore, how to couple these tasks in the core network and design a low computational complexity and high-efficiency task processing strategy is a big challenge. In this paper, the concept of virtual queues is introduced to improve the performance of the space-ground integrated networks. The task queue can be split into several virtual queues according to their priorities and the type of access networks. To evaluate the performance of virtual queues, the system performance index is defined. Finally, the system performance of the space-ground integrated networks is analyzed in detail. The result can be applied into the design of the space-ground integrated networks. INDEX TERMS performance analysis, virtual queue, space-ground integrated networks.
